Die Wêreld Sterkman-kompetisie (Engels: World's Strongest Man) is 'n kompetisie wat sedert 1977 jaarliks vir kragmanne aangebied word. Die kompetisie word deur TWI, 'n filiaal van IMG Media georganiseer en teen die einde van Desember wêreldwyd uitgesaai. Van die items wat beoefen word sluit in: troksleep, trok-intou, dooiegewig-optel, band-omdop, boomstomp-optel, sementbal-optel, ens.
Geen Suid-Afrikaner kon tot dusver die kompetisie wen nie, maar Suid-Afrika se Gerrit Badenhors het in 1995 in die tweede en in 1996 in die derde plek geëindig. Dit is in 1994, 2000 en 2010 by Sun City in die Noordwesprovinsie aangebied.
